Wholly cow! Their examples alone are useful enough for tidying-up the relative rat's nest under my layout.

So amazing what a simple alternative to wire nuts has wrought.

Wait,  my decades long investment in terminal strips i bought 20 years ago for my future layout is no longer a sound resale opportunity?

We use Wago terminal blocks as our "shop" terminals because they came in a pitched them to us. They suck. Most terminal blocks you push in a small flathead to open them. And the Wago blocks need way more pressure to push than any others. I hate them  :| Everytime I hear the word "Wago" I say "Wago sucks"

Never used connectors though.

Wagos become the standard the instant they get used the first time.
Seen it with residential electric. Seen with layouts.
